Ibiza town was a top weekend good turnout from town fans, only thing I can remember from the game was the naked town fan swinging from the cross bar 😂
Yes, and I've regretted that ever since.

Northern Ireland sounds scary JDT. I've been to Hartlepool before and that was bad enough walking from the station to the ground.
Under Alan Buckley, they played a couple of pre-season friendlies against Oadby Town, a suburb of Leicester. AB himself played in one game, and there was some good banter going on between him and the few Town fans in the little ground. A friendly place and a good atmosphere.

To be honest the Linfield one was scary whereas the Cliftonville escapade was easily sorted inside the ground. I did think I was going to have to resort to some long lost negotiating skills to deal with the big guy who came bounding up to our taxi before the game, but once he'd taken us into the social club it was surreal. Loved every moment of it as did my son.
All part of life's rich tapestry as they say.

Was in marmaris, turkey in 1998 for the start of the season. Town played Ipswich live but it was Man Utd v arsenal (I think in the charity shield first). The bar myself and an Ipswich fan were in was heaving with all these plastic prem fans. As soon as the game ended, the place emptied with only myself and this Ipswich fan left. The owner and waiters made sure we didn't leave before a bottle of raki (and the game) were finished!

I remember watching that game (a bore draw) on telly too. Only in slightly less exotic surroundings - the Bishop in Residence down by the Thames in Kingston. Met some non-plastic Man Utd fans later that evening in the Grog Shop in Shepherds Bush - real Mancuians: I'd heard there were such people but until then had never met any real ones (plenty of Meggy and Cockney Reds but no actual Mancs.)

In Scotland, have seen the Town at Queen of the South, Stirling Albion and East Fife (I think Steve Archibald had just come back from Barcelona to manage them!)
I love the travels to grounds you never usually get the chance to go with such friendlies. Gave the Spanish trip, the season after Denmark, as I thought it ws probably just a recipe for trouble. Wish I'd gone now, of course, but there you go.
Any other tales?
Went to the Stirling game....very friendly all round....went looking to buy a souvenir and was eventually led to a fella who could help us....he promptly apologised as the shop wasnt actually open and they didnt have any stock in yet.... but he went into an office rooted around and brought out a packaged club badge....pretty sure he just gave me it under the circumstances....got talking to him and turned out it was their chairman. Thats pretty much all i can remember from the football side of things....apart from getting a rare glimpse of Lewis Gobern and Charles Adameno.

We watched the Braintree play off second leg in That Bar in Tsilivi Zante. Lost the stream 5 mins into extra time.
